CUBA SÍ SEÑOR

As some of you may know, I was born in Cuba and would love to go back someday. Although I have not been allowed to return yet, the news and information content coming out of my beautiful island still interests me. I have now reached out to one government official to once again try to visit.

Slow Down DOJ

The US Department of Justice has ordered a review of federal agreements with law enforcement agencies that reflect President Trump’s emphasis on law and order and the fears are that it could lead to a retreat on consent decrees with troubled police departments nationwide.

A consent decree is an agreement or settlement that resolves a dispute between two parties without admission of guilt in a criminal case or liability in a civil case.

Sally Rides To Rescue US

With gender issues, front and center in our national dialogue, with new content surfacing each day during this women's history month, we're taking a serious look forward. CITY IMAGES puts the spotlight on Sally Yates as a key woman in American politics.

The Dumps For President Trump

What's a chief executive to do when his own people, who voted for him turn on him in masses?

Does Anybody Care?

Does anybody know what time it is? It's time to fix our health care system. Why has there been so much chatter about Repeal and Replace and not #ACA Repair? It's time to assist in the care of a recovering patient.

CITY IMAGES recommends the following non-partisan articles on fixing Obamacare and how it can be improved. We highly encourage others to share their opinions.

Price Was Wrong

Tom Price, Trump's US Secretary of Health had one priority, to Repeal and Replace #Obamacare, which is what the president promised to replace it with #Trumpcare. The Secretary vowed to dismantle the health reform law that his predecessors spent years implementing.

He is an orthopedic surgeon who may have put his foot in his mouth while he decried ACA aka Obamacare was a threat to the quality and the affordability of American health care.

SPIN ZONE

As the spins begin it does not matter what they are calling it, spin, finger pointing or just more outright lying, #Trumpcare and #Ryancare belongs to a Republican party that has been taken over by con men and the GOP owns the outcome as well as the results.

The GOP tried to ram this #AHCA down America's throats without including the Democrats, The task now is to improve the Affordable Care Act and call it just that.

Some parts of Obamacare working well, problems with others http://apne.ws/2o37mnN

Devastating Humiliation

Rest assured there are no Republicans lighting cigars to celebrate. US House Speaker Paul Ryan met with the press to comment on GOP's failure of #Trumpcare: "We came really close today, but we came up short....We're going to be living with Obamacare for the foreseeable future..."

@potus @realdonaldtrump the so-called great negotiator has once again fallen flat on another one of his empty promises. The arts of another deal gone sour for the American president.

Fingercrossing Or Fingerpointing?

These are the possible outcomes. Win, lose, go back to the drawing board, or jump on Trump. Will US Congress call the president's bluff, blame it on Trump or do these members gamble with getting dumped?

President Trump has forced a vote on the GOP plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Why aren't Americans given the opportunity to fully compare and contrast the two plans?

It's Up To You, NY

This GOP bill would take health care away from 2.7 million New Yorkers, and cost state taxpayers $6.9 billion in additional costs.

It’s a cynical ploy that affects all New Yorkers and will be the biggest blow to health care in our state’s history. Worse still, Congressmen Chris Collins and John Faso have proposed an amendment that hurts New Yorkers even more and is against the interest of their constituents and all New Yorkers.
